I Want to Read It (84): Devils and Thieves



I Want to Read It, a hybrid between WLW (or WOW) and what's on my to-be-read pile. Well, instead of focusing just on books I would like to acquire, I will be using it to feature books that I just want to read. From the ones, I want to buy to the one's sitting on my TBR at home.



Devils and Thieves (Devils and Thieves, 1) by Jennifer Rush, October 3, 2017. Published by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers.
Power corrupts. Magic kills.
Eighteen-year-old Jemmie Carmichael is surrounded by magic in the quiet town of Hawthorne, New York. In her world, magic users are called “kindled,” and Jemmie would count herself among them if only she could cast a simple spell without completely falling apart. It doesn't help that she was also recently snubbed by Crowe—the dangerous and enigmatic leader of Hawthorne’s kindled motorcycle gang, the Devils’ League.

When the entire kindled community rolls into Hawthorne for an annual festival, a rumor spreads that someone is practicing forbidden magic. Then people start to go missing. With threats closing in from every side, no one can be trusted. Jemmie and Crowe will have to put aside their tumultuous history to find their loved ones, and the only thing that might save them is the very flaw that keeps Jemmie from fully harnessing her magic. For all her years of feeling useless, Jemmie may just be the most powerful kindled of all.
Why

I have seen a lot of mixed reviews on Devils and Thieves but I'm still sort of curious about it. I have not read anything by Jennifer Rush before and the synopsis is intriguing. While this one is not at the top of my "Want to Read" list, I would probably give it a chance should I run across it at the library (who knows, I could be pleasantly surprised).

What say you- Should I stay away from it or give it a chance?
